The animation object is only active if the Animation mode is activated. The parameter p1 indicates the type of the object which is animated. The inputs are generally the coordinates and weight/radius and height/angle of the component:

xm

X coordinate (Left upper of the object)

ym

Y coordinate (Left upper of the object)

W

Width or radius

H

Height or Angle(Rad)

The left upper coordinate on the screen equals xm=0 ym=0. Depending on the value on the inputs, the object will move/rotate during the animation. For the SRM machine and the analo meter, the inputs are added to the defiend prameters. This will allow you to defined these parameters also by the input signals. Not connected inputs have as numerical value 0. Text can be defined in the at the Text1 input field

Special

Type

Object.

0

No animation object defined.

1

Text defined in the Text1 field will be displayed in the object block.

10

Rectangle positioned from (xm,ym) to (xm+W,ym+H).

11

Text defined in the Text1 field will be displayed in a Rectangle positioned from (xm,ym) to (xm+W,ym+H).

12

Rectangle positioned from (xm,ym) to (xm+W,ym+H) with rounded corners.

13

Text defined in the Text1 field will be displayed in a Rectangle positioned from (xm,ym) to (xm+W,ym+H) with rounded corners.

14

Ellipse positioned in a virtual rectangle from (xm,ym) to (xm+W,ym+H).

Car on two wheels. Left wheel at (xm,100), radius 2*W and angle H (in Radians). Right wheel at (xm+ym), radius 2*W and angle H (in Radians). The size of the moving car equals 2*W by 4*W.

23

Crane with load. Top wheel positioned at (xm,100), radius 2*W and angle H (in Radians). The size of the load equals 2*W by 2*W and has an initial position of ym.

24

Spindle with load. Left wheel positioned at (xm,100). The height/width of the box and the load equals ym/5. The lenght of the table equals ym, the load is moving W/turn depending on the angle H (in Radians).

30

Switched reluctance machine. The machine is centered at (xm,ym) with radius W and is rotating with an angle H (in radians).

p2+i5

Number of Stator poles

p3+i6

Number of Rotor poles

p4+i7

Width of a Stator pole (in Radians)

p5+i8

Width of a Rotor pole (in Radians)

The rotor is rotating depending on the angle H (in Radians). In the initial position the left side of the upper rotor pole is aligned with the right side of the upper stator pole.

31

Stepper motor. The machine is centered at (xm,ym) with radius W and is rotating with an angle H (in radians).The size of the iron equals 3*W by 2*W.

40

Analog meter. The meter is positioned at (p2+i5,p3+i6) with a size of 2*(p4+i7) by 1.5*(p4+i7). The meter indicates the value of the first input (xm).

p2+i5

X-coordinate of the left upper position.

p3+i6

Y-coordinate of the left upper position.

p4+i7

Width and height of the meter. The width equals 2*p4, the height equals 1.5*p4.

p5+i8

Left scale value.

p6+i9

Right scale value.

p7+i10

Number of grid intervals on the scale.

If the input value (xm) is outside the range (p5+i8..p6+i9), a red sign will turn on.
